Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—We wish to express to The Gazette and its many local readers our sincere thanks for and appreciation of their cordial support during the recent primary campaign out of which we emerged victorious. With the nomination comes a call to a greater fight for election. We would like to count upon "The Old Reliable" Gazette and its readers for the kind of loyal support given during the primary campaign. The first task is to see that every eligible person is registered! We are therefore requesting all our friends and supporters to constitute themselves a committee to work with renewed vigor, hope and faith for a victory in November. Yours very truly.

BOB CHURCH BANGS "JIM-CROW"! Refuses to Follow Voteless Leaders of the "Colored Voters' Division" of the Republican National Committee! Washington, D. C.—Robert R. Church, political leader, of Memphis, Tenn., has declined to serve on the executive committee of the Republican "jim-crow" division. His reason for refusing the appointment is that he cannot bring himself "to endorse the personnel of this committee or the method by which it was chosen." His declination of his appointment to membership on the committee is due to his work of the Republican national committee. Mr. Church wrote as follows: "Announcement of my selection as a member of the executive committee of the colored voters division has been made. I am not insensible of the honor. Since, however, I cannot bring myself to endorse either the personnel of this committee or the method by which it was chosen. I am forced to decline the appointment and withdraw from membership thereupon. Won't Follow Voteless Leaders. "Intimate knowledge of conditions among colored Americans, of their present state of mind, of their growing effect, of the feelings of colored Republicans who create our majorities in the free states together with my own experiences in laboring for our party lead to the conclusion that neither important colored leaders nor the rank and file will follow men who have no votes of their own whether because they hall from states in which colored citizens are denied the ballot or from neutral territory where disfranchisement is universal. Demographics indicate that neither Illinois nor Ohio will follow Alabama, North Carolina or District of Columbia. The policy is an unwise and unnecessary one that drags a religious sect into politics and involves our important university political quarrels. "In no circumstance must I become party to such a situation as is created for us in ignoring men and women who meet issues daily and create votes, and elevating above them those who dodge issues, cannot influence a single vote, have no voice to raise when we are noxious, and are Republicans only once in four years, and then only by appointment and not by choice of the people." DUPONT SUES BOB CHURCH! For a Nine Thousand Dollar Loan—Republicans After Church as Well as Ben Davis and Perry Howard. Memphis, Tenn. — A bill of recovery was filed in chancery court here Aug. 18, in which F. V. Dupont, suing in behalf of Senator T. Coleman Dupont, of Delaware, requested a receiver be appointed to collect certain rents owing Robert R. Church, to help satisfy an unpaid confessed judgment of $9,541.82. The suit is the outgrowth of a loan made to the senator, three months after when Mr. Church was in Washington, D. C. Fifteen hundred dollars of the sum has been paid back, and in May of this year Church entered a judgment in chancery court admitting the indebtedness both as to principal and interest. But returns from the bank dated that August, 15,000 was all that could be so far as tangible assets of Mr. Church could be discovered. The present bill declares, however, that Church has an equity in 13 pieces of property in the county and collects rents from many other sources, and asks that if the discovery and the mortgage is held by the bank, the mortgage be foreclosed and Church's remaining equity be paid over to Senator Dupont. ANOTHER HOT NEWSPAPER SHOT! Indianapolis, Ind.—The Indianapolis Recorder, Marc C. Steward, editor, announces (like the Baltimore Afro-American, Carl Murphy, editor), that its name was used on the Hoover Publicity Committee without authorization. It says editorially: "At such time as we choose, an announcement of our stand on presidential nominees will be made in the columns of this paper. The organizations or representatives of neither the Mr. Smith, have sought the endorsement of The Recorder. And we are not rushing to give either of the presidential nominees our endorsement when it has not been sought." Even Finley Refuses! Washington, D. C.—Chairman Hubert Work of the Republican National Committee has just received a letter from J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of our Elks and publisher of the Washington (D. C.) Eagle, declining to serve as an advisor to the Republican "jim crow" bureau. "Under recent Republican administrations my race has lost civil rights, legal representation, political leadership." Wilson said in explaining his refusal to associate himself with the Republican organization. His letter followed similar declarations from others of our leaders. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SAYS DR. WM. E. DUBOIS, EDITOR OF THE CRISIS AND N. A. A. C. P. OFFICIAL Carefully and Think! New York City.—"Let all northern black voters who are fools vote for Hoover in November. "Black voters of the North who support Smith should first vote for him and then commit suicide." Thus speaks Editor Wm. E. DuBois in the current issue of the "Crisis," official organ of the N. A. A. C. P. In his attack on Hoover, Dr. DuBois says the Republican party is playing one of its dirtiest games in the Perry Howard case. If the charges are true, he is a grafting politician of the most contemptible sort, and his accusations against him are not one whit worse than against Bascom Slep, now while Congressman from Virginia, then Secretary to President Calvin Coolidge and now in charge of the Republican campaign in the South. Slep (white) Howard, Tolbert (white), Ben Davis, and most of the southern politicians, black and white, of both parties, have trafficked in public offices. White Democrats have bought offices and white Republicans, like Herbert L. Hoover, have received the votes thus paid for in the National Republican convention. The whole situation is a crying shame to American politics and remains so because the mass of black voters in the South disfranchised and their political power wielded by grafting politicians of all colors and conditions. When the pinch comes and the Insurgent West joins the white South in defending investigation, it is only the black politicians who are investigated while Slep, Tolbert and their kind go free." Smith No Better. The Crisis editorial on Smith declares: "If the Democratic party was openly and thoughtfully planning to alienate the intelligent Negro vote in the North, they certainly were eminently successful. They opened their conversation with an atrocious group. They segregated their black visitors back of a wire cage. They nominated for Vice-President (an office which, since the Civil War, has made its incumbent President in four cases) a typical Arkansas bourbon. Even the nomination of Alfred Smith does not relieve the OUR "DEMOCRATS" ORGANIZE A Central or Governing League For Other Clubs. The State The Officers. Columbus, O. — Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, U. S. minister to Liberia, Africa, during the Wilson administration, was elected president of "The Al Smith League of Colored Voters of Ohio" at a meeting in Spring St. "Y" ("jim crow"), recently. Representatives from several sections of the state were ance. The clubs were led to promote the advocacy of Gov. Smith president and such other officials as may be considered favorable to the progress and advancement of our people." A meeting of the originators of the organization was held, several weeks ago, at the same place. Dr. Johnson said auxiliary clubs will be formed in every city and county possible where our voters able to the candidacy. Other members are Dr. R. E. Petford of Springfield, vice-pres, and Albert T. Allen of Rendville, see. The executive committee consists of the officers and Dr. E. D. Colley of Cincinnati, John W. Johnson of Cleveland, A. E. Harris of Toledo, C. L. Brown of Columbus, and Dona Smith of Dayton. The League did not announce what position to take on the candidate. Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, the bourbon Democrat who when Governor of that stop his democratic co-workers, the Arkansas "crackers", from the wholesale lynching of "Negroes", but simply "winked" at it.

OFFICIAL the Hoover and Smith Candi- ace Standpoint—Read situation. Smith is an excellent administrator and his attitude on liquor is at least honest, while Hoover's is not; but so far as we can Editor Wm. E. DuBois. learn Alfred Smith has seldom been aware of the black citizens of the state of New York. He has given 250,000 Negroes of the state only one major appointment and has shown for black people not the slightest personal interest or appreciation. He has consistently vetoed every bill and movement which Negroes advocate. The Catholic church, to which Smith belongs, knows no color-line in all the world except in the United States; but here it is 'jim-crow' from top to bottom in church attendance, in education, in philanthropy, in missionary endeavor. Finally, whatever Smith and his entourage might be inclined to do to attract Negro support, they are absolutely estopped from doing by their corrupt bargain with the solid South and their craven fear of the 'liberal' South." A Dressed Up. Nowhere to Go! The intelligent southern voter, the intelligent western farmer, the intelligent black American voter are all dressed up in this campaign with nowhere to go. Dr. DuBois, who is a Socialist, declares. THE GREAT C. & B. LINE. Should Be Removed! New York City.—Because of al- lored remarks made by Federal Judge Wm. H. Atwell of Dallas, Tex., who is sitting during the vacation period in Brooklyn, N. Y., that "colored folk and white folk cannot live together", members of the New York County Bar Association, politicians and prominent citizens have asked Judge L. Hand of the circuit court to revoke Atwell's appointment. Resolutions have also been adopted urging that he be relieved of his duties in either eastern or southern districts of the federal court. Judge Atwell's father, a northerner, located in Texas where the judge was reared and has lived since. 226 W. Superior Ave., Cleveland, O.

Recent national meetings of our Federation of Women's clubs and Business League refused direct or indirect endorsement of either the Herbert L. Hoover or Al. Smith candidacy for the Presidency and did right. The less they as organizations meddle in politics the better it will be for all of our people concerned. What will the Elks' national meet, in Chicago this week, do—if anything? --- It does not speak well for the individual, the Church or the race when such high churchmen as Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom and Dr. John R. Hawkins will step down to positions in the "jim crow" bureau of the Democratic and Republican National Committees, respectively. Both are members of the great A. M. E. Church! No wonder politicians have such little respect for our churches and ministry! Lord, have mercy! It looks as if the possibility of gaining a little money, political prestige or positions, or notority is overpowering and too great for some of our leading churchmen to withstand. Shame, O. SHAME! COLOR-LINE LUNA PARK. Any member of the race who wishes to know whether Color-line Luna park discriminates against our people or not has not to go to that park, any day, and try to bathe in its pool, skate in its roller-skating rink or "trip the light fantastic toe" in its dance-hall. This has been the situation out at that place of "amusement" for years. Atty. Chester K. Gillesple recently instituted two damage suits against the company conducting the park because of its management's miserable mistreatment of two of our women. It is positively silly to pay any attention to its recent letter to Atty. Gillesple denying that our people are barred from the pool, rink and hall, and at times from the park itself. Our people of this community should stay away from Color-line Luna park and will do so if they have self and race respect and manhood, Councilman Tom Fleming or any one else to the contrary notwithstanding. Fleming ought to be "outlawed" for steering that picnic, next week, to the beighted place. STAY AWAY FROM COLOR-LINE LUNA PARK! Show that you have some self and race respect and manhood. "A MINISTERIAL GRAFTER"? "Rev." Monsona Horne, age 40, who, according to detectives, claims to be pastor of St. Peter's Baptist church, 6981 Quincy Ave., was booked on a charge of obtaining money under false pretense, late Tuesday. Detective George Clark, who investigated, reported that no such church existed and that the address was the site of a vacant store building. Clark said that Horne obtained $3 from Dr. H. A. Herkner, telling him that he was collecting funds to lift a mortgage on the church. Dr. Herkner, who lives at 1870 Rosemont Rd., East Cleveland, notified police when he became suspicious. Horne gave his address as 2430 E. 777th St. Thanks, Dr. Herkner. Would that more of the good citizens of Cleveland would do so also. It would do much to help stop a species of grafting that has been on the increase in this city for several years. If Horne is guilty, we trust he will be given "the limit of the law" as a warning to the others, male and female. JACKSON MUST BE ELECTED! As currently rumored ever since the primary, Aug. 14, 28, Atty. Perry B. Jackson, who was favored by the Republican organization to take the place in the state legislature of Civil Service Commissioner Harry E. Davis and who, on the face of unofficial returns, had lost his chance for the seat by the slim margin of twenty-six votes, was counted in among the sixteen successful candidates, late last week Thursday, when he gained 121 votes in the official count. He supplants Henry C. Beck (white), who will undoubtedly be given something better, later on, by the organization. This will about save the county Republican ticket, this fall, if indeed it can be saved, because Jackson's alleged defeat was not received at all well by our voters of the city and county. If elected, he will be our only representative in the next Ohio Assembly, and with the Ku Klux Klan so active in the Republican party of the state we are going to need some one there. It is now up to our voters of the city and county to see to it that Jackson is elected. There must be no divisions on his candidacy. We must vote en masse for him if for no one else. HOW MUCH THEY SPENT. Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, Republican gubernatorial candidate, spent $57,263 during the recent primary campaign, Congressman James T. Begg of Sandusky, runer-up $55,078. The editor of The Gazette, who ran fifth in the field of six candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, all whites except himself, spent $230.59, of which $25 was voluntarily contributed ($10 each by Prof. Neval H. Thomas and Mrs. J. H. Cook, both of Washington, D. C., and $5 by a Cleveland friend.) Cooper, Begg and Fred Kohler of Cleveland, who received about 24,000 votes and ran third, were supported by the members of the Ku Klux Klan of the state. A goodly number of the near 17,000 votes received by the editor, who did not make an intensive campaign, this time, were those of white friends in Cleveland and elsewhere in the state. The sixth candidate (white), received only a few thousand votes, making decidedly the poorest showing of all. THE LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH The continued failure of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch to function properly is making it increasingly and absolutely necessary for some of our loyal and aggressive members of the race in this city to perfect an organization that will do so. Speaking of the Philadelphia N. A. A. C. P. branch, recently, our Public Journal of that city said among other things: "Prof. Neval Thomas' two wonderful speeches here, some time ago, must have been a challenge to the moribund branch here whose only motive is of a self-perpetuating motive of officers whose sole ambition seems to be to collect a sufficiently large allotment (of money) for the New York office. We have injustices here as flagrant as any in Washington. Even the leadership in the fight against segregation in our public schools is left to a local impulse. One of the achievements of Mr. Thomas regime as assistant of the Washington Branch, was to force the 'do-nothings' on the roster of officers, to resign." The foregoing is just as applicable to the N. A. A. C. P. branch here in Cleveland as it is to that of Philadelphia. There are a number of cases of segregation, discrimination and denials of citizens' rights and privileges in this community that our local branch should be handling properly that it is not paying the least attention to as far as doing anything material is concerned. Something must be done to remedy this, and promptly, too. RELIGION IS BLAMED! A Georgia Ex-U. S. Senator Says the Dry Issue Is Camouflage. Sandersville, Ga.—Gov. Al Smith's religion, rather than his prohibition attitude is the real cause of activities against him in the south, former Senator Thos. W. Hardwick declared in an address here, last week. "The real issue (in the minds of anti-Smith Democrats) is not the prohibition question, but the religious question." Hardwick said. "While these political parsons' andady lawyers' had no trouble in supporting the wet Davis, the wet Cox, or the still wetter Wilson, it must be remembered that the Messrs. Davis and Cox were Methodists, while Mr. Wilson was a Presbyterian." "S'moh Negro." Hollywood, Calif. — Metro announces that King Vidor, who so capably directed "The Big Parade" and "The Crowd," is to make an all "Negro" picture as yet untitled. There will be but one white person in the cast of the new film to be made in the south, spirituals and folk songs to be part of the sound synchronization. TUBBY THE GAZETTE CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1928. NOW CHESTER PRACTISE YOUR EXERCISES AND HAVE THEM PERFECT FOR YOUR NEXT LESSON GOOD DAY YES SINCE G BYE DETONATION IS MOTOR PROBLEM What Happens When Gas Vapor Fires in Cylinder Baffles Engineers. Just what occurs when gasoline vapor is introduced into a cylinder combustion chamber, compressed and fired is a problem that has baffled automotive engineers. However, they have made progress in its solution with the resultant increase in power and smoothness of operation found in the better cars of today. Study of the problem is comparable to the youthful researcher who, on July fourth, holds a lighted firecracker in his hand "to see what will happen." Both the boy and the automotive engineers are dealing with something that operates practically instantaneously and with terrific force. Carbon Knock Resulted. The principles of an internal combustion engine are well known. Vaporized gasoline is mixed with air, beated, and then drawn into the cylinder by the downward stroke of the piston. The upward piston stroke compresses the vapor and an electric spark explodes the mixture, the resulting explosion transmitting energy to the engine by means of the power stroke of the piston. Engineers also know that increasing compression increases power, up to a certain point and then power is lost and "detonation" or what is commonly known as a carbon knock, results. Also they know that different curves in the combustion chamber influence the useful force of the explosion. During the two years that a new car was being designed months of effort was expended to obtain best results in combustion. Engineers worked in co-operation with the engineering staff of a large corporation and the laboratories and equipment of the corporation in solving this problem. Design New Chamber. This co-operative effort resulted in a new design of combustion chamber which gives high compression performance without the use of special fuel. The compression ratio is 5 to 1, or approximately 98 pounds. The design further controls the explosion so that the rise of pressure within the chambers and cylinders is progressive and the pressure peak is more nearly continuous. This results in additional useful power per explosion. Two distinctive features bring about this desired result. One is the step-like profile of the chamber roof above the pistons and the other is the curves that form the four sides of each chamber. These factors govern the rate of expansion of the burning gas within the cylinders and bring about the advantages of high compression without "roughness" or detonation. Useful Carrying Case for Gasoline Lanterns A gasoline lantern is a valuable addition to a motor camper's equipment, but many tourists object to its use because of the frequent breakage of mantles, due to the vibration of the car. The risk of breakage can be eliminated if a coil spring is provided under the dome nut of the lantern as shown, and the lantern is carried in Gasoline Lantern Case. an inverted position in a suitable container. The spring should be made of No. 22 or 24-gauge piano wire. The cartin on which the lantern was originally packed will serve as a temporary container until a suitable carrying case can be made. The most important thing is to fit the spring and always carry the lantern upside down. —Popular Mechanics Magazine. COMFORTABLE BED FOR OVERNIGHT STOPS DETROIT & WESTERN The unique new design for auto interiors which provides a comfortable bed for those who either cannot or do not want to find hotels for the night while touring. By a few easy motions the front and rear seats are adjusted and the bed is ready. Shift Wornout Tires to It has been pretty definitely established that the rear right tire is the first to wear out, the rear left next, the front right next and the front left last of all. As a result, practice has become almost general to shift the worn tires to the front wheels with the idea of evening up the wear. This, however, is dangerous. When a worn tire blows out on a rear wheel, while the car is traveling at a high rate of speed, the driver still has enough control of the front wheels to guide the car safely out of a dangerous skid. When, however, a front tire lets go, and the car is moving fast, there is almost nothing the driver can do. The steering is thrown out of his control, the car is forced into a serious skid and there is great possibility of injuries to all in the car. Rather leave a worn out tire on a rear wheel, even though it will wear down so much faster, than risk the dangers that go with changing it to the front. For greater safety, however, a tire that snows the first mark of a tread worn down to the fabric should be taken off and used only as a spare. Even as a spare, it should be in use only long enough to get a good replacement. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS --- The automobile has taught us all the difference between a fifth wheel and a spare. Now will it still the highway road- side controversy to call them hotte dogge shoppe. If mud and dust are permitted to remain on the finish of a new car, it will soon look like an old one.

If there is any question about it, there is an easy way to find out. Just drive the car over a wet pavement at moderate speeds. Misalignment is certain to show itself through a tendency to skid. If the car feels as if it were skidding, or to swerve, even though the steering is straight ahead and the brakes are not being used, the chances are that the alignment is not right and it should be checked up by better methods or by more accurate aligning devices. Since alignment varies if there is much wear on the bushings and steering connections, it is a good plan to run over a rough road and then repeat the test on the smooth, wet paving. Make sure, however, there is no brake dragging. 3 Pair Rayon Hose Hose $1.00 Garters FREE! JUST send us a dollar and we send you 8 pair of women's rayon hose.

High severing—clouds, in the bright rosy East. Importing great hope of both pleasure and Feast. And the beautiful Bow, above us so high. Gives ample assurance, the day will be dry. And children, aglow, with their faces so bright. Give thrill to each other, to see their delight. The date for the pic-nic, has finally come; And bent on their pleasures—deserting their home. With bounding expressions,—of joy and great glee. The children are happy, that, now, they are free. And, whether in swings or for daisies they search. They're happy as others when fishing for perch. There are races, and paces and jumping galore; And swimming and vaulting and dancing encore. And base-ball, is there, and tennis seductive, The children, while Cupid was aiming his arrows, Continued their gambols like so many snarrows: And grand-parents, too, tho' aged, yet youthful. That to them belong, together with daisies. The summons, at length, to refreshments is heard; When, swift in their movements as any young bird, The fronds are abandoned and music at rest, They fly to the tables, where viands are blest. Or else, spread around on the green velvet sward. They satisfy hunger,—most fitting reward. And now comes the bustle for weary return; The ladies with lilies — and posies and Fern; The tables laid bare and utensils all stored. The "racket" begins when they step on the Ford.

Our local Elks' club has contracted to bring the next annual Thanksgiving day football game of Wilberforce college college vs. West Virginia institute to Cleveland, it was announced, Tuesday.

Wm. McMasters of the Woodland. 37th St. precinct. The organization should also do something to stop the illegal color-line drawn on applicants for work in the local office of the State Employment bureau. It is an outrage that ought to be stopped instanter. W. Burr Gongwer, a democratic leader, has "put one over" on the local Republican organization that is bound to net big results, this fall, at election time. Last week, he decided upon the appointment of forty-two Afro-Americans as precinct committeemen in the 11th, 12th and 18th wards. Every Democratic precinct committeeman in the 11th and 12th wards is a member of the race, something that is not true in case of the Afro-Americans in those wards. It is said that Democratic leaders in those wards will be Afro-Americans. In some instances, in the 11th, 12th and 18th wards, Republican precinct committeemen, and even leaders, all white, do not even live in the wards. Dr. E. E. Underwood, of Frankfort, Ky., many years ago a Cleveland, was in the city, last week Thursday and Friday, called by the death and funeral of his nephew, Robert, a son of his sister, widow of Mr. McPherson Turner, Quebec Ave., an old and highly respected resident of the city.

Philadelphia, Pa.—"Kid" Snowden, a Lincoln University student who is making his way through school by prize-fighting, landed a K.

As soon as Snowden left the ring, Miller partisans "ganged" around him and tried to strike him. Ten policemen were required to cut a passage for him through the crowd, to guard him while he obtained his clothes and to escort him from the athletic club. The knockout which Snowden scored off Miller was his twelfth straight. He plays end on Lincoln's football team. Godfrey "Pulls a Risko". Toronto, Ont., Ca.—Ripping a terrific right hook into illegal territory, George Godfrey, the mastecton mauler, generally known as the "black menace," lost on a foul to Larry Gains of Toronto, last week Thursday night, at the Maple Leaf Stadium, where the team scheduled ten-rounder, and sent something like 10,000 fans and fanettes home, "sore." Officials here of the Ontario Boxing Commission announced, last week Thursday, that it had lifted a 30-day suspension imposed on Godfrey after he had unintentionally foiled Gains. Godfrey's manager, John Riske, said that he was "all wet", that George smacked Gains in the pit of the stomach and that the latter fell to the floor, claiming foul. After being allowed five minutes in which to recover and failing then to answer the bell, the fight was given to Gains. Which is the way they do things in Canada. If all admitt, before the allied foul, is the main reason the Commission rescinded its verdict. When Johnny Risko fouled Roberti in recent weeks, there was not even talk of a final suspension. Godfrey left the N. Y. Commission. Godfrey left Toronto for Greensboro, N. C., U. S. A, to box Tut Jackson of Washington C. H., Ohio, U. S. A.

Thompson saved the show from being a complete disappointment for he showed flashes of real greatness against Cardi. Thompson, careful to protect his hands for next week's Chicago fight with Wetterweight Champion Joe Dundee, cut loose with all he had but sedom, but when he did shake off the hobbles he proved himself a masterful workman. Billy Gibson, seeing him work a couple of years ago, said he looked and fought like Joe Gans. So he seems to have the mannerism of a professional. He moves somewhat as Leonard did, he did the former lightweight champion, and he has a right uppercut that is reminiscent of Leonard. That right uppercut of his is a beautiful weapon. A lily. It is short and hurtful and it lacerated Cardi's kisser until the Italian looked like something that had been run through a hamburger grinder. Cardi was saved by the bell in the second round when he was just about out on his feet, and he was floored for no count in the third. He was hit a hundred punches thereafter but he was not hurt.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. There is more segregation in Washington today, under President Coolidge than there has ever been in the Civil War. The biggest of the segregation were under President Taft. It was nearly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest four parks President Washburn ever troubled, but the President administration has come and desire to introduce it even there. due to the many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, restoring white workers to the labor force and black to black men duplicating work areas and blocks had white and residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. it was begun by Republicans, and compares to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War, picture requirement in the civil service which makes it impossible for the civil lady or gentleman on the civil service, since their graph is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious held on our Republican ago. Some month ago, a colored girl appeared after her hair was pressed the best examinand after having been telegramged for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissor Blair of the internal revenue bureau with the number of clerks will not appoint her. Negro clerk, and his favorite wife there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from other favorite and leader of regation forces, the contendant of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these gentlemen. uncolored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requires in the civil service by the mere nod of his head and by loss to understandance he does not put his splendid declarations on operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the tenets of the U.S. Klan which has its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) ((Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. — In the postoffice, segregation clerks work under faithful color clerks work under coadjunct illumination and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while the colored clerks must bring cold meals from home and eat in any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking action as it takes the form of the whites, for them of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, render the government more gentle and efficient, and the white man of their attainment be able get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for clability, and registration, and nothing for these same colored employees. The club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The employees have even passed around invitations to the colored employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend presentation to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried to protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come and for the order the postmaster to invite the colored as the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. hard, unyielding caste passes over him, one after another whites many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored men have dared to form a union which meets regularly and sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Providence, The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being or. The whites are generally of a very medical group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and record facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go but there are a few tables out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our girls patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public deniation of segregation. humiliation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and desk assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the bad caste that bars promoters Here, as elsewhere, the director whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and dinner hours they use to this restful retreat for a sociability and dance. A young African with a splendid record in felt, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As this couple started to stop, the music was aborted, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being the those smart Negroes and believed in "social equality," and then dismissed on a time-tied-up charge. He was a plaster, hence he carried a plaster. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance company. Tectives came to the police to arrest him, and searched to secure any evidence seized him only to discover a pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately missed. By this severe punishment employees are taught that is no way of escaping who dares to resent the daily insults that the department (under President Gloedel) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so fully, and I have taken up no number of cases only to be met by a dental that the additions complained of and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take to be met. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a different to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as result of their prosecution by noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw another and colored girls working together in perfect harmony to work in any thought of race. Shortly thereafter an order for the segregation of the race and a white lady who had voted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 9. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928. House appeared at the bureau to on intimate terms at the White tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McBegan to no avail, and his noble wife erocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor room of utterance. She thundered against it in our local press, and addressed the national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and in N. A. A. C. P. secured public in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees by the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets and working stations, and course none are ever thought of for promotions to other places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still living for the issuance of order destroying this ineffective practice in our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) especially to the Treasury Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Colonial and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. The man never knew the occasion was The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency, Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by no means the first time the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there are among the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, or rooms, for guests. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The large, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and realize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of newspapers, the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro. His only share is in the taxes he owes for this purpose for another group. The registrieship of the treasury which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield app pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in create room publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division in dilemma, fearing so they remain in dilemma, fearing act of clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Coolidge can stop even just of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

Some little hint for an awakening enthusiasm for borders-to-be was given in quite a few printed silks during the past season. Paris especially exploited the bordered frock, but not to the extent we may expect for the coming months. There is a distinctly new appeal in the lovely woolens with more or less elaborate borders, which are featured in advance fabric displays. The "last word" or rather the first word for fall is an ensemble which employs for the one-piece frock a tan woolen weave with a wide dotted border. The hemline emphasizes the bordering, and this same is utilized for trimming on the blouse and on the full-length tan coat. Other handsome designs appear in the new materials, some of them showing a colorful tapestry effect. Tweed coats with wide colorful borders are among autumn promises. So insistent is the border theme becoming that knitted togs are showing this influence. Unusual effects are attained which stress allover repeat jacquard patternings for the body of the sweater, or coat or skirt as the case may be, or all three, their hemlines at the same time developing gorgeous borders which supply the rich coloring so in py of The aintance wh color trends light cann tints are entrancing. There is something remarkably flattering about these elusive new shades. They are at their prettiest in gowns which have not a vestige of trimming. Furthermore they look best, speaking of satin gowns in these delicate tints, with simple jewelry, ropes of pearls, perhaps, or a sparkling crystal necklace. Another material which demands simple styling to accent its regal beauty is white taffetta moire. Cut in slim line with side panels to give the required uneven hemline, this superb fabric is at its best. White taffetta and white chiffon both come in for their share of adulation, and when worked with silver stitching their loveliness is at its zenith. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1925, Western Newpaper Union.) INGING ROBE IN-BORDERED VOILE tune with the autumn landscape. The fair for borders has also hap- ply invaded the negligence field. Lovely sheer satin-bordered volles, as this ple- ture attests, make up most charm- ingly into lounging robes. With such a fabric in hand, it is an easy matter to fashion a boudou coat as effect- ual as the one in the picture, for the orate border forms its own trimming. Printed satin for the lounging coat is a favorite. While bordered effects are smartly in fashion, they are not always a matter the actual print for many designers prefer to use all over figured satin, edging it with a solid color which is seamed on by the fashionist. Considerable originality is displaced in these made borders, in sometimes many colors of satin are sewed together forming a rainbow of hues, or perhaps a Roman border effort. Hand-painted borders on negligence and lounging robes of solid that are very effective. One need not be an artist in the professional sense of the word, for the amateur who cannot draw or sketch can easily stamp the design or have a date.

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Garette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob, the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, recover, as hereafter, as not to exceed one thousand dollars as damage the county in which (the bailiff is made) (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281.

(93 v. Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injury received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand, ages for such murder killing. Such sum may be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow, deceiving an amoun to the child, shall be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal responsibility shall have the power of action as one押押 has injured or killed by a mob. (92 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having jurisdiction of an action for damage or for malicious assault.

The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob of the persons concerned with a mob. A person present with hostile intent, the lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (193. v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner through from such a county, or for defilekeeping, in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negotiation on the matter, failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163. 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other north- ern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBJS. ed. all representative of victim of lynching bury by mob trying to lynch another. d costs in tax levy. a. inst member of mob not another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper of manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater, other place of public accommodation, and amusement, except for reason applicable alike to all citizens, and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the communications, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Missed by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and the Judge Grant former presiding letter from Judge Grant former presiding letter of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the letter of your last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO. NO. 12. REPEATED ONLY nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- duate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skim Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Reading It Reading It
